Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

Bump...

Two species in this genus get their names from fruit characteristics...

Anyone?

 

[surfarmer1]

apple serviceberry?

 

[tomthetreeman]

No, what I meant was, two of the species names (there are more than two) describe the fruit. Like Maclura pomifera for instance. Except that with these trees, each species name describes the fruit, sort of explaining the difference. Think numbers.

The fruit also has a distinct feature. Think birds.

 

[surfarmer1]

such as white mulberry or red mulberry?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Neither. I am referring to a distinct feature of the fruit rather than color. But that was a good line of questioning.

Think birds.

 

[dylanclimbs]

Asimina triloba??

Nope...

 

[surfarmer1]

Malus? Carya?

 

[tomthetreeman]

OK, the fruit is winged. There, I said it.

 

[surfarmer1]

fraxinus

 

[williamd]

Pterocarya

 

[tomthetreeman]

No on both of those. The fruit is not a samara.

 

[sul]

elm? trick photo.

 

[tomthetreeman]

The fruit, although winged, is not a samara...

 

[robinia]

Halesia?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Good enough. Bam.

 

[robinia]

One of your favs, correct?

Nice trees. We can't quite grow them here.

 

[robinia]

Here's one from the very edge of Niagara Falls.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I do like Halesia...

I'll start the guessing with Acer pseudoplatanus, although I highly doubt it.

 

[Symbioun]

I'll take a stab at this one. I was completely stumped by Tom's last specimen.
Could it be Aesculus Hippocastanum?
